Historic 1700s Riverbank Mill Villa in Manciano with One Hectare Land Near Medieval Villages and Saturnia Spa

Sunday morning at Vaiano moves slowly. The kind of slow you have to travel to find. From the upstairs terrace of this detached villa, you can watch the mist lift off Lake Trasimeno in long, pale ribbons, while somewhere below in the kitchen, coffee is brewing and the scent of wood smoke still lingers from last night's fire. This is what 291 square metres of Umbrian life actually feels like — and why so few people who find it ever want to leave. Castiglione del Lago sits on a promontory jutting into Lake Trasimeno, the fourth-largest lake in Italy and the largest in central Italy, ringed by low olive-covered hills that turn silver-green in the afternoon light. The medieval town itself — with its walled Palazzo della Corgna and the brooding towers of the Rocca del Leone — is less than five kilometres away. Market day falls on Wednesday, and the stalls along Via Vittorio Emanuele fill with local pecorino, cured meats from the Chiana valley, and the freshwater fish that local restaurants turn into tegamaccio, the region's traditional lake stew cooked with olive oil, white wine, and whatever the morning's catch brought in. It's worth making the drive for that alone. The property itself sits in the hamlet of Vaiano, set back from the road within a fully fenced private garden of roughly 2,309 square metres — that's just over half an acre of outdoor space planted with twelve mature olive trees. These aren't decorative; they produce. In a good harvest year, you're pressing your own oil. Two stone agricultural outbuildings totalling 51 square metres sit within the garden boundary, with existing planning provisions allowing a volume expansion of up to 15%, which opens interesting possibilities for a guest studio, a garden store w ... click here to read more

The first thing you notice on a summer morning at this Putzolu villa is the silence. Not the eerie, empty kind — the kind that costs something. Cicadas in the macchia, a faint breeze moving through the cork oaks, and the distant shimmer of the Gallura hills sitting still against a cloudless sky. Then you remember: you're five minutes from Olbia's city center and 20 minutes from some of the most coveted coastline in the Mediterranean. That combination is genuinely rare. Sardinia gets written about a lot, but usually through the lens of the Costa Smeralda's superyacht scene — Porto Cervo, the Billionaire Club, the July crowds. What doesn't get written about enough is the real Olbia. The Tuesday morning market on Via Nanni where locals argue over which vendor has the better seadas, the fried pastry pockets of ricotta and honey that are basically a religious experience. The evening passeggiata along Corso Umberto that starts slow and somehow ends at midnight over a bottle of Vermentino di Gallura at a terrace bar. This villa puts you inside that rhythm, not observing it from a resort. The property sits on approximately 1.5 hectares of private land in the Putzolu area, one of those semi-rural pockets just outside Olbia that manages to feel a world away from the city while actually being about a five-minute drive from it. A flat garden of roughly 3,000 square meters wraps immediately around the house — and this isn't the kind of garden you maintain out of obligation. It's the kind you actually use. Space for a proper dining terrace, a future pool if you want one, a bocce court, a vegetable patch. The surrounding land buffers you from neighbors in every direction. The villa itself spans 214 square meters across two levels. T ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Sunday morning in late October, and the smell of woodsmoke is already drifting up from the valley below. You're sitting on the terrace outside the kitchen, coffee in hand, watching the first light catch the silver undersides of your olive leaves. The hills roll away in every direction — golden, green, impossibly quiet. This is not a postcard. This is your garden. This 200-square-metre country villa outside Chianni sits on roughly five acres (20,000 sqm) of mixed land — working olive groves, open meadows, patches of woodland — and it's the kind of property that becomes a reference point for the rest of your life. Not because of grand architectural gestures, but because of what it actually feels like to be there. The house arrives in good, liveable condition, which matters more than people give it credit for. You won't be gutting a ruin or project-managing a rebuild from another country. You can arrive, unlock the door, and start living — then improve things at your own pace. The pellet boiler provides central heating and hot water throughout, and all windows are double-glazed, which means the place stays genuinely warm through the Tuscan winter, not just decoratively Tuscan. What makes the layout especially interesting is that the accommodation currently runs as two independent units. The main section is entered via an external staircase that leads up to a first-floor terrace — a landing wide enough to actually eat at, which becomes your default dinner table from April through October. Inside, a generous open-plan kitchen with pantry flows into a sitting room anchored by a freestanding fireplace positioned in the centre of the room. It draws the eye immediately. Two bedrooms occupy this level, one ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in the Valdera hills smells like woodsmoke and rosemary. You push open the kitchen door, coffee in hand, and the whole of Tuscany rolls out in front of you — a long slow exhale of olive groves, vineyards, and medieval tower tops catching the early light. No neighbour in sight. Just the faint toll of a bell from Rivalto drifting up the hillside, and the crunch of gravel under your feet as you walk to the pergola table for breakfast. This is the quiet that people spend years trying to find. This two-bedroom renovated farmhouse sits above the Valdera hills near the village of Chianni, on a private plot of just over 10,000 square metres — about two and a half acres of fruit trees, old stone walls, and open sky. At 150 square metres of interior living space, it's compact enough to feel intimate, generous enough to host family comfortably. The renovation has been done with a sure hand: modern infrastructure underneath, authentically Tuscan on the surface. Terracotta floors, exposed stone, wooden beams — nothing that jars with the landscape outside the window. On the ground floor, a glass-enclosed living and dining room opens the whole hill view into the house without losing warmth in winter. The kitchen runs alongside it, practical and well-equipped. There's a tavern — a sitting room that converts easily to a TV room or reading corner — plus a bedroom and bathroom. What was once a woodshed now houses a jacuzzi. The cellar holds an aluminium wine barrel and a pizza oven, which tells you something about how the previous owners spent their evenings and gives you a very good template to follow. Upstairs, two further bedrooms, quiet and cool in summer, take in the wide panorama from above. A 40-square-metre garage ... click here to read more

Picture this: it's a Tuesday morning in late September, the kind of morning that makes you want to cancel everything. You're standing on your upstairs terrace with a coffee, watching the mist slowly pull back from the Apennine ridgeline, and the only sound is a woodpecker somewhere in the fig tree below. That's the daily reality of owning this three-bedroom villa in the Lunigiana hills of northern Tuscany — a place most Italians know about and most foreigners haven't found yet. That's not an accident. Lunigiana sits in the crease between Tuscany, Liguria, and Emilia-Romagna, technically within Tuscany's administrative borders but with a character entirely its own. Fewer tour buses. More castles per square kilometre than almost anywhere in Italy. Hiking trails that cut through chestnut forests older than the republic. And properties like this one — solid, well-maintained villas on quiet lanes with proper gardens and proper views — that would cost twice as much if they sat twenty kilometres further south in the Chianti. The villa itself is 208 square metres across three levels, and it's been kept in genuinely good condition. This isn't a project. The finish is high-end throughout: marble bathrooms, solid wood and marble kitchen, beamed ceilings in the main living room. The first floor is where daily life happens — a wide entrance hall opens into a living room with a fireplace that earns its keep in November, french doors spilling out onto a covered patio where you can eat dinner outside well into October without needing a jumper. The kitchen is fully fitted and connects to the same covered patio, so cooking and outdoor living flow into each other the way they should in a Tuscan country house. Two bedrooms on this level ... click here to read more

On a clear morning, you push open the shutters of the upstairs bedroom and the Apuan Alps are just there — close enough that you can trace the ridgelines with your finger, white-tipped in winter, darkly forested through July and August. The smell drifting up from the kitchen is coffee, and somewhere below the terrace an olive grove is already warm in the early sun. This is your Tuesday. Imagine your Saturday. Sitting at the end of a quiet lane outside Aulla in the Lunigiana corner of Tuscany, this two-bedroom, four-bathroom stone villa sits on four hectares of land — olives, fruit trees, vines — and feels genuinely removed from the world while remaining surprisingly easy to reach. It's the kind of property that gets into your head the first time you visit and doesn't leave. The house itself has the bones that matter. Thick stone walls keep rooms cool well into the afternoon heat of August. A wisteria-covered portico frames the entrance, and inside, the living room pivots around an impressive stone fireplace that earns its keep from November through March. The kitchen-dining room has marble surfaces and a marble sink — not an affectation, just the way kitchens were built here, and still the best material for rolling pasta dough. There's a utility space tucked out of sight with a washing machine, a ground-floor WC, and a separate ground-floor room — flooded with light on three sides — that opens directly onto the garden and has its own ensuite shower. Upstairs, two double bedrooms each have their own ensuite facilities: one with a bath, one with a shower, both with air conditioning for the peak summer weeks. The first bedroom steps out onto a large terrace where those mountain views hit you full in the face. Every room i ... click here to read more

Stand at the top floor of this three-storey farmhouse on a clear October morning and you'll see why people have been building on these hills since the Etruscans figured out the view was worth it. The Valdera valley rolls out below in every direction — vineyards going amber, cypress rows casting long shadows, and the faint outline of Volterra's medieval towers on the western ridge. This is what 360-degree actually means, not the estate-agent shorthand version. The farmhouse sits about 5 kilometres from Casciana Terme Lari, a small spa town that most Tuscany visitors drive straight past on the way to Pisa or Florence, which is precisely what keeps it real. The weekly Thursday market on the central piazza draws local farmers selling pecorino, dried porcini, and Valdera olive oil pressed from trees that have been on the same hillsides for centuries. The Bar Centrale opens early. The locals are not performing for tourists. That's the thing about this corner of central Tuscany — it hasn't been discovered yet, not in the way that San Gimignano or Montepulciano have, and the property prices reflect exactly that. At 450 square metres across three floors, with roughly a hectare of land wrapping around it, this is a serious restoration project. No connected services, no EPC required — it comes to you as a shell with good bones, waiting for someone with a vision and a decent architect. The structure is solid stone, the kind that was built to outlast everyone involved in building it. What you're buying here is a blank canvas on some of the most quietly coveted land in Pisa province, at a price that reflects the work ahead rather than the finished article. For buyers who've watched completed Tuscan farmhouses sell at twice this figu ... click here to read more

Picture yourself waking to the soft golden light filtering through centuries-old stone walls, the only sounds breaking the morning silence being birdsong echoing across the valley and the distant tolling of church bells from hilltop villages. This is the reality awaiting you at this 327-square-meter stone farmhouse, perched on a panoramic mountainside just 13 kilometers from the Renaissance town of Città di Castello, where authentic Umbrian country living meets the freedom to create your perfect Italian retreat. Spread across 5 hectares of private land, this property offers something increasingly rare in modern Umbria: genuine privacy combined with convenient accessibility. The approach via asphalt road followed by just 200 meters of white gravel track strikes that perfect balance between seclusion and practicality, meaning you can escape to your countryside sanctuary without sacrificing connectivity to essential services and cultural experiences. The main 227-square-meter farmhouse, delivered in builder's finish condition, presents a blank canvas for international buyers seeking to craft their vision of Italian country life, while the 100-square-meter annex opens possibilities for guest accommodations, artist studios, or rental income opportunities. Life in this corner of northern Umbria unfolds according to nature's calendar and the region's agricultural traditions. Spring transforms the surrounding hillsides into patchworks of wildflowers and new vineyards, while autumn brings truffle hunting season to nearby forests and harvest festivals in every village square. Your 5 hectares could support olive groves, vegetable gardens, or simply remain a private natural sanctuary where deer and wild boar occasionally wander th ... click here to read more

Picture yourself standing on a hillside in the heart of Tuscany's Valdera region, where the morning mist slowly lifts to reveal a 360-degree panorama of rolling countryside, medieval villages perched on distant hills, and rows of dark cypress trees cutting across golden fields. This is the view that greets you from your own 450-square-meter farmhouse on three levels, set on 2.5 acres of Tuscan land just five kilometers from the historic spa town of Casciana Terme. Here, halfway between the ancient Etruscan settlement of Volterra and the iconic Leaning Tower of Pisa, you'll discover a vacation home opportunity that places you at the geographic and cultural heart of one of Italy's most celebrated regions. This is your chance to create a bespoke retreat in Tuscany, shaped entirely to your vision, in a location that offers both peaceful countryside living and extraordinary access to art, cuisine, and Mediterranean coastline.

Spread across three levels, the 450-square-meter structure offers generous space to design multiple bedroom suites, entertainment areas, and those essential elements of Italian country living: a proper kitchen for long Sunday lunches, terraces for evening aperitivos, and perhaps a reading room where afternoon light filters through restored shutters. The absence of existing systems means you'll install modern heating, plumbing, and electrical infrastructure to contemporary standards while preserving the authentic stone walls and architectural character that make Tuscan farmhouses so desirable. The restoration journey, while requiring in ... click here to read more

Picture yourself stepping through wrought-iron gates into your private Tuscan retreat, where morning espresso on a portico terrace overlooks the rolling Lunigiana hills, castle silhouettes dotting the horizon as the morning mist lifts.

Unlike tourist-heavy destinations further south, Lunigiana remains genuinely Italian, where local markets pulse with seasonal produce and restaurant menus change with what grows in nearby valleys. Your daily rhythm here follows the natural cadence of Tuscan village life. Morning begins on the covered portico, where the terrace captures eastern light perfect for breakfast while planning the day ahead. Walk into town for fresh bread, stopping to chat with shopkeepers who quickly recognize regular faces. Return home through your gated entrance, arms full of local cheese and wine, ready to prepare lunch in the fitted kitchen that opens directly onto terrace space ideal for outdoor dining.

This house for sale in Uruma, Okinawa sits on a 1,171 m² freehold plot with 211 m² of living space over two floors. It has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a landscaped garden. Maehara is a quiet residential pocket of Uruma, on the east side of Okinawa's main island. The house is family-sized, with an open-plan living area, a traditional Japanese room and a dedicated parking area. By Japanese standards the plot is generous, and the property is in good condition and ready for occupancy from early September 2026. ### The House and Its 1,171 m² Plot The land is freehold, and the garden is landscaped rather than left as plain lawn. There is room for a barbecue table, a vegetable patch or a children's play area. The source mentions the possibility of a pool or extra landscaping later. Any such project would need local permits and a local builder's opinion, so ask before you plan on it. The living area totals 211 m² on two floors. Parking is the other practical point. The dedicated area takes several cars, and in this part of Okinawa that matters, because almost every household runs on two or more vehicles. ### Inside: Open Plan Living and a Japanese Room The living room, dining area and kitchen run into one another, so whoever is cooking is still part of the conversation. The living room opens directly onto the garden, and large windows bring in plenty of daylight. The kitchen has modern appliances, generous counter space and good storage. There are three bedrooms. The main bedroom is the largest, and its windows face the garden, so you wake up to greenery rather than a neighbour's wall. The other two bedrooms work for children, guests or a home office. Two bathrooms mean mornings don't turn into a queue. The traditi ... click here to read more

This six-bedroom house for sale in Nago, Okinawa sits on 4,675 m² of land in the Yanbaru hills, ten minutes by car from the town centre. It is a reinforced concrete home from 1990, renovated and listed in good condition, with a large garden and room for several cars. Most homes at this price in Japan come with a postage-stamp plot. This one comes with about 1,400 tsubo, which is a rare amount of private land in northern Okinawa. Whether you want a family base, a place for visiting friends, or a quiet second home in Japan, the space is the main draw. ### A House for Sale in Nago, Okinawa, Built to Last The house has 131 m² of living area and six bedrooms. That is a lot of sleeping space for the size, so expect compact rooms rather than grand ones. It suits a large family, several generations under one roof, or an owner who likes to host. It was built in May 1990 in reinforced concrete, the usual choice in Okinawa because it stands up to humidity, salt air and typhoon season. The listing describes a renovation, a modern kitchen and wood flooring throughout. Closets and built-in storage are fitted in the bedrooms and common areas. The bathroom setup is practical. The data lists one bathroom, and the source description adds a separate toilet, a shower room and a powder room. With six bedrooms that is worth checking in person, so you can see how the layout works for a full house. The house stands on elevated ground. Large windows face the forested hills of Yanbaru, so your morning coffee comes with a view of green slopes instead of the neighbour's wall. ### The Land: 4,675 m² of Garden in Yanbaru The plot is classified as residential, with freehold rights, and it sits in a non-classified city planning area. The garden ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Motobu, Okinawa sits on a 348 m² plot a short distance from Sesoko Beach and Anchi Beach. Built in 1976 with a wooden frame, it is a single-storey home with four bedrooms, tatami rooms and a garden with room to plant, build or simply sit outside. The listing shows it as vacant, so it is available for immediate occupancy. ### The House and Its 348 m² Plot The living area is 52 m², all on one level. That is compact for four bedrooms, so expect modest rooms rather than grand ones. Several are Japanese-style, with tatami flooring and sliding doors, which means you can open the space up for guests or close it off for a quiet corner. Use the rooms as bedrooms, a study, a hobby room or a remote-work office. There is one bathroom, a kitchen described as functional and well lit, and a parking space for one car. The land is the bigger story. At 348 m² the plot is many times the size of the house, and the garden leaves space for vegetables, flowers, a patio or a barbecue corner. The land is zoned residential and lies in a non-classified city planning area. If you plan to extend, have a local professional confirm what is allowed before you commit. The condition is rated good, but this is a house from the 1970s in a humid subtropical climate. Book a survey of the roof, the timber frame and the damp protection, and ask how the house has fared in past typhoon seasons. ### Living Near Sesoko Beach and Anchi Beach The house is in the Sesoko area of Motobu-cho, in Kunigami-gun on the northern part of the main island. Both Sesoko Beach and Anchi Beach are close, so a morning swim or a late-afternoon walk on the sand is an ordinary day here, not a day trip. Supermarkets and convenience stores are a short walk ac ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Sennan, Osaka sits on a 1,073 m² freehold plot, an eight-minute walk from Shinge Station on the Hanwa Line. Seven bedrooms across three floors give a large family, or two generations under one roof, room to spread out. Land of this size is rare anywhere in the Osaka commuter belt, and here it comes with a garden already in place. The asking price is about €359,000. ### The House: 7LDK Across Three Floors The house has 214 m² of living space and a 7LDK layout: seven rooms plus a living room, a dining area and a kitchen. Two bathrooms serve the household. The interior mixes traditional Japanese and modern design, and the main rooms have large windows facing the surrounding greenery. The three floors make the space easy to divide. One natural split is shared living on the ground floor, with the bedrooms upstairs. That leaves a quiet bedroom wing for a parent, a teenager or a guest, while everyone still meets in the kitchen and dining area in the evening. Seven rooms also give you plenty of options beyond bedrooms: a home office, a study, a hobby room or a spare room for visiting family. The condition is good. Nothing here is a rescue project, though you may want to update finishes or fittings to your own taste. The solid structure and generous room sizes make that kind of gradual, room-by-room refresh straightforward. ### The 1,073 m² Plot and Garden Most Japanese suburban houses stand almost shoulder to shoulder with their neighbours. This one doesn't. The 1,073 m² plot gives you real distance from the street and from the next house, and the garden is the obvious place to start using it. You could grow vegetables, lay out a lawn for children and pets, or plant a proper landscaped garden and sit ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Osaka sits in Anryu, Suminoe-ku, with five bedrooms, a private garden and a five-minute walk to Suminoe Station. It is a two-storey home of 163 m² on a 132 m² freehold plot, in good condition and available from 1 June 2026. Detached houses with a garden and a parking space are not what most people picture when they think of living in Osaka. This one gives a family room to spread out, and it keeps the trains, supermarkets and schools of a well-connected ward close at hand. ### The House: Five Bedrooms on Two Floors The layout is a 5LDK: five separate rooms plus a combined living, dining and kitchen area. The split over two floors keeps the shared space apart from the private rooms. Children can have their own space, grandparents can have a quiet room, and somebody working remotely can close a door on the rest of the household. The living room has large windows, so daylight reaches well into the room. The open-plan kitchen is modern, with good storage and fitted appliances. Each bedroom has its own closet space, and the master bedroom is the largest of them. Any of the five rooms can become a study, a guest room, a playroom or a hobby space without changing the structure. There are two bathrooms. The main one has a bathtub, and the toilet is in a separate room, which suits a busy morning routine. The listing describes the whole house as being in good condition and ready for immediate occupancy, so there is no renovation project hiding behind the photos. ### Garden and Parking in the City The private garden is the feature that sets this house apart from the apartments that fill most of the city. The whole plot is 132 m², so this is a city garden rather than an estate, but it is enough for a bar ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Osaka sits in Nishinari-ku, three minutes on foot from Tengachaya Station, and currently runs as a two-floor ryokan. It is a compact building with 74 m² of living space on a 48 m² plot, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Small, yes, but that is much of the appeal. There is little to maintain, the layout is easy to manage, and the Nankai line puts the big-name districts within a short ride. The seller quotes a gross yield of 20.99% on the current hotel use, so this is an investment property in Osaka first. It can also become a private home. ### The House: Two Floors, Two Bedrooms Both floors are currently used for the accommodation operation. Inside you get two bedrooms, a living-dining-kitchen area and several bathrooms and washrooms, which is what makes the house work for guests and would equally suit a household. The bathrooms have a separate shower area and a dedicated washroom, a practical detail when several people share the space. The living area has large windows, so daylight reaches the main room. The kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and storage, enough for a longer stay as well as a weekend visit. The building is in good condition, and the source describes regular maintenance and updates. There is no garden. On a 48 m² lot that is the trade-off for easy upkeep, and local parks are nearby for fresh air. ### Ryokan for Sale in Osaka: The Investment Case The headline number is the 20.99% gross yield. Treat it as the seller's figure. Gross means before taxes, running costs, cleaning, platform fees and quiet months, so ask for the operating accounts and booking history before you rely on it. The property is sold freehold, covering both land and building, and the expected handover is ... click here to read more

This guest house for sale in Osaka has 8 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms and already trades as a hotel in Ikuno Ward. It is a working accommodation business as much as a building, and that changes how you should look at it. The asking price is 118,000,000 JPY, about 672,000 EUR, for 275 m² of steel-frame construction in good condition. ### An Operating Hotel With Eight Bathrooms Most second-home searches start with a view or a garden. This one starts with a layout. Eight bedrooms and eight bathrooms means the house is already set up for guests, with a bathroom count that matches the sleeping rooms one to one. There are also three separate toilets, air-conditioning, and a kitchen with an induction (IH) hob, which is the standard, easy-to-clean setup in Japanese hospitality. The building is steel frame, dating from August 1972, and is listed in good condition. Fifty-plus years is not unusual for Japanese urban buildings, but a buyer should still commission a survey and ask about past refurbishment, particularly plumbing, which matters with eight bathrooms. Because the property is trading today, the seller can provide current annual and monthly rental income figures on request. Ask for them early. Real numbers will tell you more than any brochure. ### Ikuno Ward: What the Neighbourhood Offers The property is in the Katsuyama-kita area of Ikuno Ward, in the east of Osaka city. Ikuno is a lived-in, working district rather than a postcard one, and that is part of its appeal. It is home to Osaka's best-known Korea Town around Tsuruhashi, where the yakiniku restaurants, kimchi shops and street food stalls draw crowds from across the city. Guests who want to eat where locals eat will find plenty within reach. Staying here also mea ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Osaka gives you a whole four-floor building with 169 m² of living space, eight minutes' walk from Asashiobashi Station. It stands on its own freehold plot in Yunagi, Minato-ku, close to the bay and on a direct subway line into the city. It is a whole-building house, so there are no shared walls to negotiate and no management committee to answer to. The building is in good condition and, according to the listing, ready to move into when it becomes available in early September 2026. ### The House: Four Floors on a Freehold Plot in Osaka Osaka plots are small, and this one is no exception: 97 m² of freehold land. The builder dealt with that by going up. Four floors give you 169 m² of indoor space, and each level can do a different job. You come in through a proper entrance and a spacious lobby, which is more than many city houses manage. The main living areas have large windows, so daylight reaches the rooms rather than stopping at the front. The kitchen is modern and well equipped, with a dining area next to it. That is the layout for cooking while others sit at the table. The bedrooms are on the upper floors, away from the day-to-day noise of the living areas. The listing does not state the exact number of bedrooms, so ask for the floor plans before you plan furniture or guests. The size and four-storey layout leave room for a home office, a hobby room or separate quarters for older parents. One room is Japanese-style and can serve as a tatami room, a guest room or a quiet corner for reading. There are several bathrooms. The main one is a contemporary bathroom with the washroom and toilet kept separate, the usual Japanese arrangement that lets two people get ready at once. No garden is listed ... click here to read more
